If you don't get into the apprenticeship program, does that mean you are a sub-standard writer?
I don't think so. I didn't get in when I applied 2 months ago and I've since won 2 hubnuggets plus a second place hubnugget and acquired 20,000 views in 3 months. I believe they tend to look for specific topics of interest and it also depends on space availability for the class.
If you're as egocentric as I am, you'll find that you're too good for their programme. When there's apparently over 20,000 people discovering HubPages a month (according to all those little notes around the site), there's few chances that a self-loving overlord-of-one's-own-dominion is going to be one of the 30 people getting the apprenticeship.
In all, don't be offended if they turn you down. You're too good for them. Like me!
Have can I not choose this as the best answer!
I love your answer. I'm glad to hear that I am not the only self-loving overlord-of-one's-own-dominion. I was not accepted either, and I am sure it is because I am too good for their program.
Well, thanks for choosing me. I seem to be a bastion of egocentrisism. But I really think DS Duby deserves the best answer as his was more informative. Thanks a lot anyway ^^
No way john your answer was way to creative to not be number 1, it was definitely the best answer! I like to think I'm a little egocentric too and just to damn good for the program. lol
Yes ! There should be and option for multiple best answers!

Just saw this in the new layout! So exciting! Wish I could sign up but can't right now - not enough time to do a good job. But does anyone know how to find out how long the waiting list is already?

The Apprenticeship Program - What am I in for?I'm actually really excited that I'm starting the Apprenticeship program in June. But I'm a bit apprehensive, too. Any folks out there already in it want to give a glimpse of what's in store? Particularly, how many hours a month are good to devote to...

Why wasn't I accepted into the Apprenticeship Program?I've noticed a lot of people talking about being accepted into the program and I'm just wondering why they passed me up? I have good quality hubs and I'm so eager to learn more. Tips, anyone? Has anyone else been rejected?

Since I was turned down by HP regarding their apprenticeship program due to the fact that "you don't write well enough" (I so wish I didn't delete that email) yet I'm still allowed to write hubs which apparently are subpar then are they keeping me here so their pockets get fuller? ...

I am really upset over the whole discussion about the Apprenticeship program. Now disgruntled hubbers want to have the badge removed form our profiles.When I became an "elite", when it was known as that, I was treated really badly by some petty hubbers. When I joined the AP program I fell...
